July 8. A petition has been received from the abbot and convent of Melsa in
Westminster. Holdernesse, of the foundation of William, late earl of Albermarle,
ancestor of Avelina, late the lady of Holdernesse and patroness of the
said abbey, on whose death without heirs in the time of Edward I the
lordship of Holdernesse and the patronage of the said abbey escheated to
the crown, shewing that since that escheat the abbey has been charged
by the king's progenitors as follows : — to wit, Edward I sent to the abbey
a certain idiot named Robert Fole, who dwelt there all his life without
letters patent or grant of the abbot and convent ; and after him, one
Lucet de Gaynesburgh was received at the request of Edward III on a
letter missive, and had, by grant of the then abbot and convent, four
quarters of wheat, four quarters of barley, and one mark of silver a year ;
then in 6 Richard II the abbot and convent were commanded to grant
such corrody to William Wyncelowe, yeoman of his chamber, such
as the said Lucet had, whereupon he was granted a yearly pension of
5 marks, but the petitioners have no record of the terms of such grant ;
afterwards Henry IV commanded the like sustenance for John Clerk,
formerly clerk of the crown in chancery, and after divers writs and much
trouble, he agreed with the abbot and convent for an annuity of 6 marks,
given him out of friendship and for his service to the said abbey. After his
death in 3 Henry V a writ was issued for John Burwell, clerk of the king's
chapel, to have a like corrody, and to avoid the king's wrath and
in obedience to his verbal command, an annuity of 5 marks was granted to
the said John Burwell, to have his aid and council ; notwithstanding that
the house is not of royal foundation nor has any corrody in it granted at
the command or request of the said Avelina, or her ancestors, or at those
of any king except as abovesaid, and that in a statute of Edward III the
king promised for himself and his heirs not to ask for corrodies unless
he had a right to demand them ; and therefore the present king has
issued divers writs for such corrody to be granted to one John Hunt, clerk
of the chapel, as the said John Burwell had ; and, the petitioners denying
thaf any corrody has ever been granted in the sense intended, the king
commissions Thomas Fulthorp, John Thwaytes, John Portyngton,
Christopher Baynton, Guy RoclyfF, Guy Fairfax and the sheriff of
Yorkshire, to enquire upon oath of the county of York, into the facts of

ministers of the same, and of the farmers and tenants of the possessions
of the same in question, and to audit under the survey of Nicholas Dixon,
clerk, an account of the canons in the following matter ; the said dean or
warden having complained that, whereas the steward of the college ought
to collect all the revenues of the same every year, and hand them over to
the treasurer, who must answer for them and pay without favour to the
warden and canons, vicars, clerks, knights, and ministers of the college
their respective portions; and whereas the possessions of the college
must not be let, nor suits be begun in its name, without the consent under
the common seal of the warden and chapter, and whereas the portions
before referred to must each year be paid out of that year's revenue, and
not out of the revenue of future years, as appears by the statutes of
the college and the injunctions given by John, archbishop of York,
late chancellor of England and visitor of the college in virtue of such
office of chancellor, nevertheless certain canons oocupying the offices of
steward and treasurer have long been making payments by favour contrary
to the statutes, squandering the goods of the college at their will and for
their own profit, without paying the portions due by the account of the
college, leasing the churches, manors and possessions of the college
without security to insolvent persons, entering upon pleas without the
assent of the dean and chapter, taking allowance for unreasonable amounts
as expended on alleged repairs, while other necessary and timely repairs
were neglected, and making payments to themselves out of the revenues
of the priory of Okebourne, lately granted to the college, out of the arrears
of the daily distributions which were suffered to lapse for some years
before the said priory was granted to the college, although such ought to
have gone to the distributions of the canons newly appointed there.

By a |)etition presented by brother John, monk of Conches in Normandy
and the king's liegeman, it seems that the abbot and convent of Conches
have had the priory of Wotton Wawen, in the diocese of Worcester, of the
foundation of the countess of Staiford and her ancestors, and that Henry III
by letters patent confirmed it in its possessions, which were enjoyed by
successive priors presented by the said abbot and convent, instituted and
inducted, as in the registers of the bishopric of Worcester appears, and in
the time of Edward III John Maubert was presented, admitted, instituted
and inducted, when the said king, on account of his war with France, took
possession of the advowson of alien priories in England. Then by letters
patent, dated 4 July, 1 Henry IV, such advowsons were restored, and
after the death of the said John Maubert, John Soverein, a monk,
presented by Michael Aufrye and Ralph Mai Hoke, proctors of the said
abbot and convent, was duly inducted and as prior took the profits of the
priory till his death on the morrow of Easter in the king's fifteenth year :
whereby the priory is now void and the presentation to it belongs to the
king by virtue of statutes made in the time of Henry V : nevertheless, by
colour of certain letters patent of that king, made upon information that
the priory was not to be filled by presentation, Roland Lenthale,
* chivaler,' after the death of the said John Soverein entered into its
possessions, and divine service ceased to be celebrated there contrary to
the pious intention of the founders. The king, therefore, now presents
the petitioner, with the object of reviving the said church and the service
there and the prayers for his good estate and for the souls of his
progenitors, heirs and successors ; and should the said Roland desire to
urge anything on his own behalf, the chancellor of England shall hear

worth 6». 8^., a silver girdle worth 20«., and three gowns worth 40*.
On which indictment he pleaded not guilty before the justices of the
King's Bench, and though he might have had exceptions and challenges
yet he forebore to challenge through his trust in one Stephen Sloghterforth
of Warnham, one of the twelve empanelled to pass the verdict ; the
said Stephen, after coming to him and saying that he need not distrust
(dubitaret) him nor in any way refuse any of the said twelve, giving a
deceitful verdict against the accused in the name of himself and his fellow
jurymen, so that the said Roger was adjudged to die. And the same Roger
was also indicted of having on 1 November, 18 Henry VI, armed with a
dagger and knives, broken by night the close and house of Hugh Halsham,
knight, in the parish of St. George, Suthwerk, co. Surrey, broken open

command of the said archbishop, was recently granted to the king
by Thomas Chichele, archdeacon of Canterbury, Henry Penwortham,
clerk, and Robert Davners, feoffees, to the use of the said archbishop,
who, with his successors in the archbishopric, is designated as second
founder of the college, on account of the great costs which he has laid
out and proposes to lay out on the same. As warden the king nominates
Richard Andrewe, clerk, and as scholars, Thomas Lavenham, Robert
Stephenes, Robert Seborgh, William Overton, Thomas Eston, Richard
Warde and Richard Penwortham, chosen by the said archbishop, to be

that the warden and his successors, in accordance with the said statutes,
may choose and admit more scholars to the number of forty persons; that,
on the death or removal of a warden, the scholars may elect a successor
without suing for the royal licence, to be admitted and confirmed by the
archbishop of Canterbury and not by the king; on the removal of a
scholar, by death, departure or deprivation, the warden may in like
manner freely choose and admit the successor. The warden and scholars
are to be called the warden and college of the souls of all the faithful
departed, Oxford, and, under such style, they shall be capable of
purchasing lands, rents, services, advowsons and possessions, temporal and

Whereas by petition of the prior and convent of St. Oswald's, Nostell,

Lancaster, the king has learned that they recently had to pay 2,800
marks, viz. 1,700 marks to settle an action brought against them on behalf
of the church of St. Sixtus, Rome, and 600 marks to Robert Waterton for
certain goods of his in a chest deposited with them for safe keepings and
afterwards stolen, and that the church of Bambourgh, appropriated to
them, being the main part of their livelihood, has decreased in yearly value
owing to the war from 500 marks to barely 100 ; and further that their
priory church was lately in such danger of collapsing that they had to pull
down the roof and the upper part, and now have to build them afresh ;
and that about three miles from the priory in the town of Pontefract
there is a hospital, called the hospital of St. Nicholas in Pounfreit, in
the patronage of the king as duke of Lancaster, which for many years has
been ruled by secular masters or wardens, some of whom hardly ever went
there, that its possessions are close to and round about the priory, and that
it could be well managed by the prior : — the king by letters patent under
the seal of the duchy of Lancaster, dated 81 January in his sixteenth year,
granted to the petitioners the advowson of the said hospital, and the hospital
itself with its possessions on the death or resignation of WilUam Bothe,
the present master or warden, with leave to appropriate the same in

the king issued letters patent of pardon for all trespasses done in the

that though the king lately pardoned them for seven years the farm of

Alyngton, there is no such farm charged on them in the Exchequer, so that
the barons cannot give them any such discharge ; the king in consideration
of this and of the ruin and poverty of the house has pardoned them for
seven years the twoEeparate farms of 40 marks and 17 marks respectively,

issued to the lord of Bardolf by the name of William Phelipp, the king*s

esquire, treasurer of the king's chamber and keeper of the jewels, whereby
it appeared that the petitioner had had that office from 4 March in the
king's second year, that his predecessors in the time of Henry V had
rendered their accounts to the king in person and had been thereby dis-
charged, but, although he had rendered his accounts in like manner to
those who bore rule about the king's person in the time of his tender age,
as appeared by the accounts themselves imder the signets and signs
manual of the earl of Warwick and the lord of Bourgchier, the king's late
chamberlain, until 9 March, 14 Henry VI, such accounts did not suffice to
discharge him as against the king: and the commission accordingly gave the

Walssh, one of the auditors of the duchy of Lancaster, and has been found
to be quit as regards the king; the king hereby grants that he shall

Whereas by an inquisition taken at Sydyngboume, co. Kent, on 19
February, 16 Henry VI, before Thomas Broun, esquire, Robert Rodes,
Thomas Burgeys and Richard Waller, formerly sheriff of Kent, it was
found that John Stokker, Stoker or Stocer, of London, merchant or
'draper,' shipped 80 woollen cloths worth lOOZ., uncustomed and uncocketed,
at Queneburgh in the isle of Shepey on board a ship of which Walter
Fryse was then master, on 20 July, 16 Henry VI, the vessel sailing for
parts beyond sea on 24 July ; but he has complained to the king showing
that he was never guilty of any such act, the said verdict having been
found in the county of Kent, where he never stayed, and with whose
inhabitants he has no acquaintance, by certain of bis enemies, who are
likely to do him further injury unless he has the king's aid ; the king,
by advice of the council and for a fine, has pardoned him all offences
before 81 July last. By p.s.
On the petition of Richard Bedford, one of the auditors of the
Exchequer, the king has learned that he and Nicholas Brethnam of

Harpesford, customer and collector of the due of S<L on the weight of
each sack oif wool or woolfells exported from Calais, to account therefor
at the Exchequer ; but that for certain reasons the said Harpesford was
compelled by Richard Bokeland, late treasurer of Calais, to account to
him, as had been usual ; so that the latter is now charged in his account
with the moneys received by the said John on the king's behalf. Never-
theless a writ of scire f arias was issued out of the Exchequer to the
sheriffs of London, for the said Richard Bedford and Nicholas to appear
and show cause why they should not pay the said 100^, the said Harpesford
not having accounted at the Exchequer ; in answer to which writ, the
present petitioner appeared, the said Nicholas not having been found, but
he could not persuade the barons that he ought not to be charged ; and,
therefore, he was charged and paid. The king, therefore, grants to the
said petitioner 101. a year until the said 100/. be repaid, to wit, 10 marks
a year out of the farm of two parts of the manor of Godyngton in the
counties of Oxford and Buckingham, and 5 marks a year out of the fee-farm
of the third part, currently charged in the Exchequer year by year on
Richard Dammory and his heirs and payable by him, them or the tenants.

of the admiralty, by command of the king and the lords of the council
on 24 July, 16 Henry VI, arrested in Queneburgh harbour a certain ship
of which Walter Fryse was master, and divers goods therein, because
woollen cloth and other goods of alien and native merchants worth 8,000/.
had been loaded in her for export without payment of custom or subsidy ;
and that the said marshal enjoined the said Walter, William Cotesbroke,
Robert Staunton, John Harrowe and Richard Bogwyn of London,

to move the ship without further orders ; and on the same day he repeated
such orders to William Milrede or Milreth of London, * mercer,' because

thereupon the said William offered him 10 marks in silver to be friendly

May 20, Commission to William, earl of Suffolk, and John Cotesmore, shewing
Kempton that by an inquisition taken at Walyngford before them and W^illiam
Marmyon on Friday after Trinity Sunday, 16 Henry VI, Henry
son of king John [rectim Henry II] , the king's progenitor, by his charter
granted to the burgesses of the town of Walyngford and their heirs
perpetual quittance from landgafol in that town and from scotale,
gereitfnma, toll, passage and all customs throughout all his land, and
granted them all his laws and rightful customs which they had in the
time of Henry, his ■ grandfather. And on account of this grant of
quittance and of the good service which they had done him, he granted
them the town, to hold to them and their heirs from him [Henry II] and
his heirs in fee farm at the rent of 40Z. assayed and weighed {arsas et
jyensatas) to him and his heirs where they had been wont to render SOI,
and a cloak worth 100.<t. Wherefore he willed and firmly commanded
that his said burgesses should have and hold the said quittance and all
his laws and right customs which they had in the time of king Henry his
grandfather, well, in peace, freely and quietly, fully, completely and
honourably. And he forbade anyone to vex them in this matter or
disturb them on forfeiture of lOL By virtue of this grant the burgesses
were seised of the town to them and their heirs to hold at fee farm
from the said Henry late king and his heirs, and there were then in
the town eleven parishes, well and sufficiently built over and peopled,
with a parish church in each, well constructed, served daily by chaplains
and clerks : and the burgesses of that time by reason of the said grant
received as rent of assize from all tenants for their lands in the town 14/.
and from the issues and profits of two views of frankpledge, pleas and
courts yearly 10^, from the fines and profits of divers gilds to have
their franchise and liberty in the town yearly 71,, and from the fines of
divers persons under covenant (pactionariorum) buying and selling in the
said town with the toll in the fairs and markets there in average years
102. towards the said fee farm, but they took no other profits by virtue of
the said grant. Afterwards, however, the town so decreased by whole
parishes with the houses, buildings and dwellers in the same, that the
remaining inhabitants could hardly pay the half of the said yearly farm,
whereupon King Richard II at the request of the mayor, bailiffs, burgesses
and commonalty of the time, by letters patent, dated 14 June in his
nineteenth year, granted to them exemption for 20 years from one half of
their farm of 421. a year, and the present king's father on 1 9 November
in his fourth year, at the expiry of the said term, extended the said
exemption for another 20 years, which second term expired on 19
November preceding the date of the said inquisition. But now many
more burgesses and inhabitants through great charges falling on them

by misfortune, have left the town and others have perished in
plagues and epidemics or have gone away with their families, and
the artificers and workmen who might take their places fear to come
on account of the poverty of the town, so that now there are only four
parishes there inhabited and the same number of churches maintained,
the benefices whereof are however so poor that they will have to be left
unserved unless the king give speedy aid, there being in the town no more
than the forty -four hosts or householders (lares foventen) whose named are
specified in the inquisition. Also the buildings have so fallen into decay
that for the future not more than 10^. a year can be paid as farm without
the final destruction and exile of the whole population. Wherefore the
present mayor, burgesses and commonalty have besought the king to
discharge them from the said farm of 42Z. from 19 November, 16
Henry VI, and to cause the town with all the privileges, liberties and
franchises, granted on account of the said farm, to be taken into his
hands ; saving to heirs and purchasers their inheritance and purchases.
The king, therefore, commissions the said earl of Suffolk and John
Cotesmore to take the town into his hands on the surrender of the present
mayor, burgesses and commonalty, to discharge them from the said
farm of 42Z. a year, and to treat with them to have the same again at a
suitable farm, or failing that to demise all the lands, tenements, rents
and profits accruing to the king through the taking into his hands, to his
best avail, or entrust them to some person to administer and account
therefor. By p.s.

7 Richard II {not on Patent Roll), being an exemplification of a. copy
[Coujity Placita, Derhyy No. 4] sent into Chancery by the treasurer
and chamberlains of the Exchequer, of forest proceedings held at Derby
on the morrow of Michaelmas, 18 Edward I, before Roger Lestrange
(Ed'tranens), Peter de Lenche and John son of Nigel, justices appointed to
hear and determine the same pleas, touching the rights of the foresters of
Peak. Touching the bailiwick of Oampana, John Danyel, Thomas le
Archier, Thomas son of Thomas Folejaumb, at present within age and in
the ward of the king, who has granted this wardship to Thomas de
Gretton, Nicholas Folejaumb, late in the ward of Henry de Medwe by the
king's grant, and now of full age, and Adam Goumfray and their successors
were enfeoffed in the time of William Peverell, lord of the Peak. John
Danyel, forester in fee of Campana, holds a bovate of land in Wonnhull
for the keeping of his bailiwick by serjeanty ; none of it has been alienated
from the time of the first feofiEment, and it is worth Ss. a year. It was
inquired of the said John what rights belong to his bailiwick, and he says
that he ought to have ' housbote ' and ' heybote * from the king's wood to
repair his houses of serjeanty when necessary by view and livery of the
chief bailiff of Peek and his foresters and verderers, to wit, oak for the
repair of his dwelling-house and for the repair of the other houses of the
said serjeanty, boulic and alder ; that he ought to have his pigs fed in the
said serjeanty, quit of pannage in the king's forest of Peek, also pasture for
his plough beasts fed on his land of serjeanty in the king's pasture when
that pasture is sold or allocated by the bailiff of Peek ; and that in the time
of mast, when the king has agistment in the said bailiwick, he and his
fellow foresters of the same ought to have one pig at their choice out of
the pigs which the king has from the agistment ; and that he ought to
have a man in his place to keep the bailiwick when manifest need compels
him to leave the bailiwick and the neighbourhood, who, as his attorney,
shall swear before the chief bailiff and verderers of Peek faithfully to keep
vert and venison at his charges until his return ; and that he ought to
have a groom under him when he is in the neighbourhood, at his own
charges, sworn as to vert and venison before the said bailiff and verderers.
And it is found by the ministers of the forest and by twenty four jurymen
and by the ancient rolls that his ancestors had such rights from the time
of their feoffment ; and it was asked whether the said John has encroached
to himself anything more not belonging to him.
Thomas le Archer, forester in fee of the same bailiwick, holds four
bovates of land in Hokelawe for the keeping of his bailiwick and each of
them is worth Ss. a year, and he claims all the foregoing as belonging to
his bailiwick, as the said John, and it was asked whether he had
encroached anything.
Nicholas Folejaumb, forester in fee, holds a bovate of land in Wonnhull
for the keeping of his bailiwick worth ds. a year; nothing has been
alienated and he claims the same privileges. He is only just of age and
18 HENRY VI.— Part 1. 368

has only just got seisin of his bailiwick^ so he has made no encroachmeifts.
Henry del Medwe had the ward of him. It was asked if he had made any
encroacjiments during his guardianship.
Adam Ooumfrey and Thomas son of Thomas Folejaumb, foresters in
fee, hold one bovate of land there, each of them a half, sometime one
serjeanty, but divided long ago by two brothers, so that each remained as
it were serjeant for his half; and this provision was made on account of
their value and for the good keeping of the forest. Each of them was
wont to have the privileges of the foregoing and so they claim them now.
And it was asked if the said Adam had made any encroachments. And
the said Thomas is still under age and in the ward of Thomas de Gretton,
who had the wardship of him for a year, which Thomas de Gretton .
John le Wolfhunt and the said Thomas son of Thomas Folejaumb hold
a bovate of land, sometime one serjeanty appointed for the capture of
wolves in the forest, but divided in ancient times ; so that each of them
holds half a bovate, to wit, the said John by inheritance, while the other
half was given by Hugh de Morhawe, who once held it, to his daughter
Katharine, who sold it to Thomas Folejaumb.
It was asked what rights belong to that serjeanty and they say none
except land, and it ought not to count among the bailiwicks of Gampana,
but each year in March and September they ought to go through the
midst of the forest to put traps for wolves where they haunt, because at
those times the wolves cannot smell (adorare) dug earth so well as at other
times of the year. Also they shall go in the forest in summer time about
the feast of St. Barnabas when the wolves have their cubs, to take and
destroy them, but not at other times. And then they shall have a groom
with them to carry their engines and they shall be all sworn and shall
carry a hatchet, a gisarme, and a knife at the girdle, but no bow or arrows.
They shall have with them one unlawed mastiff trained for the purpose, at
their charges, but they shall do nothing else in the forest.
William the forester of Trayok holds one bovate of land for the keeping
of Trayok, whereof nothing has been alienated and he has nothing

undivided. He claims that all those rights belong to his bailiwick, which

Butiller, and take a husband within a year of the said king*s decease by
their assent or that of the survivors of them, and with reasonable pleasure
of heart (complacentia cordis sut) ; but if she married oontraiy to the
intention of the said king, the letters of the estate which the said feofifees
would make to her should be of such efifect that they might lawfully
enter and she should not benefit under the will ; and if she married by

should inherit in fee tail 1002. worth of the land given her for life ; and
if she predeceased her husband, he should have the said 1002. worth for
life whether there were issue between him and her or not, the remaining
100/. to revert to the feofifee for the purpose of fulfilling a further will.
If, however, she would not marry, but desired to live chaste to the praise
of God, she was to have from the said feofifees lands worth 200 marks yearly
for life with reversion to the feofifees to the intents of the other will.
Touching the land worth 1002. a year the will was to be carried out without
delay after testator's decease, unless expressly revoked, so soon as its
contents became known to the feofifees as might best avail the said Elizabeth
on her fulfilling her part, notwithstanding any defect of legal form in the
will, as more plainly appears in an autograph paper codicil * to the will
annexed. Now it appears from the petition of the said Thomas and
Elizabeth that, on 1 July, 1 Henry VI, Thomas, late bishop of Durham,
Thomas, late duke of Exeter, Ralph, late earl of Westmorland, Henry,
late lord Filzhugh, John Wodehous and John Loventhorp {sic), all since

enfeofifment of divers possessions of the duchy of Lancaster, and, amongst
others, of the said manor of Sutton with the hamlets of Potton, Stratton
and Holm, and of the said manor of Asperton with its hamlet of Stratton,
and their having been required by letter by the said late king to fulfil his
will as regards the premises whereby the said Elizabeth, remaining chaste,
was to have lands out of them worth 1002. a year for life, demised to her for
such term the said manor of Sutton with its hamlets as of the yearly value
of 512. ISs, 5f (/., and the said manor of Asperton with its hamlet, as worth
592. ds. 8d. a year, knights' fees and advowsons excepted, at the yearly
rent of 112. 8s, If ^. payable to the said demisors with the rights of distraint
and of felling and disposing of large timber. Then on 28 November,
4 Henry VI, the said bishop of Winchester and the said late duke, by
another deed, reciting how, by virtue of the said demise, the said Elizabeth
and the said Thomas Swynford, who had married her by the advice and
arrangement of the said late duke, Walter Beauchamp and Ralph Botiller,
were seised of the said manors and hamlets, confirmed their estate in the
. same, to be held in fee tail as a moiety of the lands worth 2002. a year to
be given her under the said will, rent free, as not exceeding the yearly
value of 1002., with remainder to her in fee tail, should he predecease her
without heir of her body lawfully begotten, with remainder over to the
said bishop and late duke. Afterwards, on 22 July in the same year, the
said archbishop, bishop of Winchester, late bishop, late duke, late earl of
Westmorland, Walter Hungreford, John and John, by deed, reciting their
enfeof&nent of divers lands of the said duchy of Lancaster, to the intent

relating to the marriage of the said Elizabeth [as above] demised to the
said Thomas Swynford and her for life, the said manor and soke of
Snayth as of the value of 912. a year, and the said manor of Briddesgreve

but the [first] named William gave the manor to Thomas Tregoos and
Emma his wife and the heirs of Thomas' body, they were seised, Thomas
died without heir of his body, and Emma took to husband Robert
Tresylyan, knight ; and he and she were seised in her right until he was
attainted of high treason in the Parliament held at Westminster, 11
Richard II, when it was adjudged that he should forfeit all chattels,
lordships, reversions, liberties, franchises, lands, tenements, fees and
advowsons which he had on 1 October, 10 Richard II, or afterwards, and
all those tenements which any other person had by gift, grant or
feoffment of him or any other person by bargain or otherwise to his use ;
but issue in tail, reversioners, remainder men and women were not to be
precluded from inheritances or jointures to come to them under grants
or feoffments made before the forfeiture. But afterwards by an inquisi-
tion virtvte officii held at Leskerd, co. Cornwall, before John Jaycok, then
escheator, on 28 September, 8 Henry IV, it was found that the same Robert
Tresylyan, *chivaler,' was seised of the said manor in his demesne as of
fee at the time of his forfeiture and died so seised ; and after his death
one John Cheyndyt of Badannan entered, and then the manor was taken
into the bands of Henry lY, who by letters patent granted two parts of it
to one Joyce de Bree in fee tail, who is still so seised. Henry IV, however,
died seised of the remaining part and of the reversion of the said two
parts, and from him the said third part and reversion descended to
Henry V, and to the present king. But the petitioner denies that Tresylyan
was seised in his demesne as of fee, as by the said inquisition is supposed,
at the time of his forfeiture or afterwards, or that he had any other estate
than for the life of the said Emma, and prays for right and justice

of a debt of 14/. obtained by judgment and 18x. hi. damages ; they having

King Edward I by letters patent granted to the then wardens of his
exchanges of London and Canterbury, and to the workmen, moneyers and
other ministers pertaining thereto, that while in office they should be quit
of tallages and of service on juries etc. and that they should stand to right
before such wardens except in pleas touching freehold or the crown ; and
King Edward II, ratifying the above, granted that they should be assessed
by their wardens to any aids, to which they might consent to contribute,
the wardens to be taxed as to such aids by the barons of the Exchequer.
And afterwards King Edward III confirmed the above on 80 September
in his sixteenth year, and acquitted them for their time of service of
any tallages, aids, performances or contributions granted to him up
to that date by the commonalty of England, or thereafter to be granted.
But the wanlen, workmen, moneyers and other such ministers now
complain that, although their predecessors in the time of Edward III
were discharged by judgment of the court of Exchequer from certain
sums assessed on them, as appears of record ; now, contrary to the above
grants and confirmations, on pretence of a certain grant made to that
king by the commonalty of his reahn, the barons of the Exchequer,
moved by certain doubts whether the said grants suffice for the
discharge of the present complainants in respect particularly to certain
fifteenths and tenths granted to the present king and to his
progenitors by the commonalty of England, are endeavouring to charge
the said complainants with divers such contributions; wherefore the
king, desiring to deal graciously with them and to remove all doubts
in the matter and considering their great labours in their offices and
in order to incite them to attend the closer to their duties, has granted to
them that they and their successors shall for the future be a body cor-
porate with perpetual succession, capable, by the name of the Warden
of the Exchanges of London and Canterbury, and the workmen, moneyers
and other ministers pertaining thereto, of purchasing lands, rents and
possessions and of pleading and and being impleaded, under the same
style, in all pleas, suits, actions, plaints or demands in any courts of the
king or his heirs, that they shall have a common seal for their business,
and that none of them while in office shall be put on any assizes, juries,
inquisitions, attaints, grand assizes or recognitions whatsoever, against
his will, and that they shall stand to right before their own wardens in
all pleas except pleas specially belonging to freehold or to the crown, and
that none of them shall be made mayor, sheriff, escheator, constable,
bailiff, collector, inquisitor, trier or assessor or other officer or minister of

It has been shown to the king by John, the abbot, and the convent of
St. Albans, that divers privileges have been granted to them by charter
of the king's progenitors, and that, amongst others. King Henry II
granted to Geoffrey, sometime abbot, and the convent of St. Albans, soc
and sac ' on stronde and streme, on wud and feld, tol and them, and grit-
bruche, hamsoche, murdre, forestal, danegeld, infongenethef and utfon-
genthef, flemenesremth, blodewite, [and] wrec,' and granted to them
besides that they should have all liberties and free customs which the
royal power had or could confer on any church, which none should
infringe on pain of forfeiture and no one, French or English, should
meddle with their lands or men except them or their ministers, but
the abbot and convent are hindered from enjoying many of their
liberties, partly owing to the general nature and vagueness or difficulty
of the words and terms in the charters, partly owing to certain letters
patent of interpretation of Henry IV, which William, formerly abbot,
and the then convent imprudently obtained. They petition therefore,
for a new interpretation of the words of the said charter, and the king,
out of his devotion to the protomartyr of England and in order that
the petitioners may have more leisure and security to attend to divine
service and other pious works, and for the avoiding of controversy
interprets the said charter of Henry II, and hereby grants that the
petitioners by virtue of such charter shall have for ever return and
execution of all the king's writs, and the goods and chattels of their men
and tenants, resident or otherwise, and of all other residents on their lands
and fees, outlawed for treason, felony, contempt, trespass, debt, account
or other occasion, all goods and chattels of their men and tenants, resident
or not, and of all residents on their lands or fees, felons of themselves, and
other felons, fugitives and condemned persons, and all goods and chattels of
such tenants and residents confiscated ; so that if any such ought to lose

soever justice thereof ought to be done, before any of the king's justices
or ministers, such goods and chattels shall belong to them ; and it shall be
lawful for them and their servants to put themselves in possession thereof
and retain them to the use of the petitioners, as the king's officers would
do if the goods had belonged to the king, even in the case of men and
tenants holding of the king or other persons, or of such men, tenants and
residents being bailiffs or ministers of the king or of the petitioners or of
any other person. The abbot and convent shall also have all fines for
trespasses, oppressions, extortions, deceptions, conspiracies, concealments,
regratings, forestallings, maintenances, ambidextries, falsities, escapes of
felons, and other faults and misprisions, and all fines for licence to agree,

whether on writs of attaint, decies tanUim, preinunire facias or on other
royal writs, year, day, stripment and waste, deodands, treasure trove and

escapes of felons, rapes of women and other felonies of all their men and

Henry lY and notwithstanding that petitioners may not hitherto have
enjoyed their privileges so freely as they should have according to the
present interpretation of the same. Grant also that they shall enjoy the
above privileges and all others granted to them by the king's predecessors

sequently King Edward III by letters patent granted to the abbot and
monks of St. Mary Graces by the Tower of London those 20 marks which
the weavers of London rendered yearly at the Exchequer for the farm of

that, after he was put back into possession by the sheriff, John

disseised again, and so another assize was sued, and the said Robert Lyston
obtained judgment for recovery and for 40/. costs and damages, which

Robert Lyston sued a redisseisin and had judgment thereon to recover

sued an action of trespass against the present petitioner in the county of
Nottingham, supposing them to have assaulted and beaten John Hyerd,
his servant, at Llyntham, although no one of the said petitioners ever

the king to confirm their founder's grant by assent of the lords spiritual
and temporal and the commonalty of the realm, provided always that a
writ under the great seal should be directed to the sheriff to make
proclamation that any person claiming title in the manor or town should
appear before the king and council before Martinmas and shew his title ;
to which petition the king assented [llolh of Pari, V, 22, 28] . And on

sheriff, returned that he had caused such proclamation to be made at
York Castle on St. Laurence the Martyr last before Thomas Fulthorp

a petition made to the king by the burgesses of Bichemond, it was found
that the said town was then and of old time a borough and that the
burgesses and their ancestors were seised thereof with its market, fairs,
tolls, rents, assizes, attachments and pleas, and of the whole demesne of
Bichemond called the land of Fontenay with all other liberties, easements

of Brittany, first-bom of the lord of Bichemond, by his charter, shewn to
the jurors of the said inquisition, dated at Jorovall on the eve of the
Assumption, 1268, granted to the burgesses the said borough for ever

ever as aforetime, rendering yearly 40Z. sterling and obeying him as
principal lord, any escheats to remain to him, saving to the biirgesses tbeir
due and wonted rights, and if any burgess made complaint that he had
suffered injustice in his court, his steward should make amends thereof ;
and further that Edward I by letters patent dated at Eltham, 80 June in
his third year, confirmed the said charter, and that the same John by his
charter granted to Sir Boald son of Boald, lord of Burton, and his heirs
11 marks, 6f. 8d. yearly out of the said fee farm of 40L and commanded

and that Henry liescrop, knight, lord of Bolton, had the estate of

Cumberland and Westmoreland trafficked in their market every Saturday,
and carriers of grain and bread from the said counties and from the parts
of Londesdale, Craven Dent, Sadbergh and other distant parts, wherein
fruits grow not plentifully, wherefore by the constant flocking of men
thither the burgesses for many years now passed were able to levy the
greater part of the said fee-farm, but now receive scarcely 100s. yearly for
the same, because markets are now held at Masham on Wednesday, at
Bedale on Tuesday, at Middelham within the liberty of Bichemond by
licence of former kings, at Stayndrop within the bishopric and liberty of
Durham on Tuesday, and at Bernardcastell within the same bishopric and

the pasture of Wytteklyf has been so destroyed by underwood, thorns, heath,
fern, and other growths, that the burgesses have been unable for long to
receive herbage and agistments as aforetime, and that many burgesses,
artificers, victuallers, workmen and other inhabitants have been consumed
by pestilence and plague, others have been unable to pay the fee-farm, and
others through heavy burdens and losses sustained there have left with
their wives and children as beggars, and other workmen come no longer
as aforetime by reason of the said poverty and waste, so that the remaining
burgesses have been able to levy scarcely a third part of the fee-farm ;
and further that they can levy 19/. ISs, 4f/. and no more, and had no
other commodities at the time of the said inquisition than those mentioned
in their petition : — the king grants to the said burgesses all the premises
